Save your pennies and just get an ARB for the rear. It sounds like your trucks is set up pretty much the same as mine and I've only ever wished I had one once. Supposedly if you put a little tension on the e-brake while getting moving, it can give a little resistance to the open differential "tricking" it into thinking the tire with less traction actually is getting traction; you may need to sprout a few more appendages to manage that in a manual though!
This is where I had that trouble, a rear locker or LSD would have pushed me right over it; the FJC I followed over it and the FJ60 that followed me both had a rear locker or LSD respectively. (no, we didn't use the strap, we stacked a few rocks in the dusty hole and drove right through)

Since you won't be driving it on snow or ice, I'd take Pighead's advice and get a Detroit locker for the rear.

And the difference is that the detroit replaces the entire carrier, and the spartan only replaces the spider gears?
Right. Oh, Marlin Crawler claims that the newer design Grizzly locker is as good or better than a Detroit. Same deal, replaces entire carrier.
Speaking of detroit, here's one for sale in local listings for a pretty good deal... The guy has had that ad posted FOREVER so I bet the price can be talked down a little.

I've heard the same thing about the grizzly- that they're better than detroit. Full carrier mechanical lockers supposedly behave a lot better on road than the lunchbox lockers.
